It seemed as though Half Dome was following us wherever we hiked in and around Yosemite Valley. As reported in a number of posts in this series, it had rained a number of days prior to our arrival and there was a decent amount of snow melt. Because of those two factors, puddles remained in the meadow near our lodging and I was able to take several photographs of Half Dome with puddle reflections.

The Merced River in the Vicinity of El Capitan
As you might have gathered from my previous posts about Yosemite, the Merced River meanders throughout the valley and this too will cross your path a number of times if you do much hiking in and around the Valley.
We were delighted that the river was flowing well and there were both rapids and more placid expanses to reveal the full character of the Merced.
